Synopsis
Building on the Superman myth, this television series from the 1990s centres on the young adult life of Clark Kent (Dean Cain) in the modern-day city of Metropolis. While struggling to balance his Superman duties with his job working for the Daily Planet, Kent meets and falls in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane. When news breaks of Superman's existence, Lane becomes smitten with the elusive superhero, but fails to recognise that Kent and Superman are one and the same! This short-sightedness leads her to refuse Kent's romantic advances in a cunning twist of irony. Driven by this odd romantic triangle of sorts, the show's first series also focuses on life around the Daily Planet office, and Superman's battles with a whole host of villains, making it part-romance, part-action adventure.

Customer Reviews

more and even better
Just like the first one, but in my opinion, with some better story lines. The villans seem more interesting in this season and lois and clark move to the next step in their, will they or wont they get together? they kiss for the first time in this season and the that special question he asks lois at the end of the season. Its great and all fun to watch! But lois also has her eye on superman too and its great to watch her reaction to superman all the time! The graphics are betetr in this season too and as I said before, the villans are more interesting to watch with some special guests making their debut on superman! Also, a new Jimmy, and as good as the original one was, this one kicks ass!! He is brilliant, funny and a great Jimmy Olsen!!!

Again, one of the best superman progs ever made, please go and buy it!

Fresh as Ever and Wonderful!!
I'm one of the reviewers who remembers when the series was first shown on TV and sat with my children watching it every week. I loved it as much as they did. This is the first time since then that I've been able to watch the whole thing through (series 1-3, am getting series 4 soon),and can say that it is as good now as it was then. Perhaps even better now, because I don't have to sit through the agony each week wondering will they or won't they? Another big change was to have both Clarks parents still alive,(traditionally Clarks dad died when he was young), a wonderful idead that produced a lot of memorable moments in all four series'.

It helps to remember that at the time when Lois and Clark was first shown, the comic book line was that Clark and Lois Lane did not date and certainly did not even entertain the prospect of marriage, they were good friends, Lois only really had eyes for Superman and it had been that way for years. So, to see this 'rule book' being ripped up and thrown away was totally captivating. Right up until they finally got married for real, there was always the lingering doubt that it would end up towing the comic book line. How wonderful they didn't and finally had Clark and Lois get married!! Some time after that the comic book changed too and Clark and Lois got married.

So, what we have here is a timeless story of romance played by two actors whose on screen chemistry as Clark Kent and Lois Lane is second to none. Certainly, Terri Hatcher is by far the best on screen Lois Lane there has been to date (including the new Superman returns film). Perhaps more controversially, I believe Dean Cain is far and away the best on screen Clark Kent there has been because as a 'real person' his Clark Kent is much more believable and down to earth. As Superman, he might not be able to make us believe a man can fly (that accolade still belongs very strongly to Christopher Reeves' Superman)due mostly to the fairly weak special effects that were used, but his Clark Kent remains unrivalled!!

So, ignore the mostly dodgy special effects (although I still prefer how they do Superman's x-ray vision in Lois and Clark),some of the rather cheesey villians and their plots and enjoy the fun and romance that series 1-4 provide.It's still the best!!!

Just Cruising
After the excellent opening series of 'Lois & Clark' I was disappointed when I saw this. For a start they'd effectively killed off Superman's main oponent (The Beloved Mr Luthor makes a guest appearance but is not a regular)and littered the Man of Steel with a number of 'less than average villain wannabees'. The show still retains the strong chemistry between Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain, but is let down by a badly miscast new Jimmy Olsen (Justin Whalin) and the departure of Cat, and Lois' sister.

Basically not really so super, more so so.
